Let's celebrate Diwali!


It's a Diwali Storytime! Here's my program. 

Opening Songs: Hello, Friends and Open, Shut Them

Book 1: Diwali by Nancy Dickmann

Book 2: Lights for Gita by Rachna Gilmore

Song 1: Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Book 3: Divali Rose by Vashanti Rahaman

Book 4: Mama’s Saris by Pooja Makhijani

Action Rhyme: 5 Little Firecrackers
5 little firecrackers all in a row (hold up 4 fingers) 
1 gets lit and off it goes (hold up 1 finger)
It zips up high with a zoom, zoom, zoom (zip 1 finger around above your head)
Here it goes with a boom, boom, boom (clap hands 3 times on "boom")
